Classification of Engineering drawings as per Standards

AI Thread Summary
Level 1 engineering drawings refer to conceptual and developmental designs, while Level 2 pertains to production prototypes and limited production, and Level 3 involves finalized production drawings. The ASME Y14 series does not classify drawings using these levels; instead, this classification is mentioned in military standards. The discussion highlights a potential confusion between educational courses on ASME Y14 and actual drawing classifications. It emphasizes the importance of clarity in Level 3 drawings, ensuring all details are precise and unambiguous. Understanding these classifications is crucial for effective engineering communication and documentation.

Hello,

What is Level 1 engineering drawing? What does it mean?

Is there any particular section dealing about classification of engineering drawings in ASME Y 14 series.

Please throw some light on this

Thanks

Anyone, please share their knowledge
 
I can't say I ever remember anything called "Level 1" type of drawing in any of the ASME Y14 series. I'll have to take another look through to make sure.

Perhaps it is in reference to an assembly level of a drawing. In other words, the most basic level is a part drawing. The next higher level could be a subassembly level, the next higher level another subassembly. The highest level being the top level assembly drawing.
 
Thanks Tyroman and FredGarvin.

As FredGarvin pointed out, it is not part of ASMEY14, but was mentioned in MIL standard.
 
In a nutshell: Level 1 – Conceptual and Developmental Design, Level 2 – Production Prototype and Limited Production, Level 3 - Production.
In level 3 drawings, all of your i's must be dotted and t's crossed, with nothing left open to varying interpretations.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
